SOIL is the subject of a talk in Porlock Village Hall on Wednesday (November 21).

It will be given by Paul Hending to Porlock Horticultural and Crafts Society, but is open to all – and he has asked that everyone brings a jam jar, with lid, quarter-filled with soil and something to stir it with.

Paul will explain why soil is a vital part of growing plants, what it is made of, how it works, and what gardeners and growers can do to ensure it is kept in the best condition possible for growing plants. 

The talk starts at 7.30pm. Entry is £2 members, £2.50 non-members, and tea and coffee will be served afterwards.
